Perplexity going from 20.8 to 20.4. Is that a significant improvement? Also, I am not sure if perplexity is representative enough to evaluate LLMs.

You are right about what and by whom it needs to be done.

My point is that neither individuals nor the companies will do that unless the government creates programs and laws that would enforce and facilitate the process. And it’s not just about writing the law. It’s about finding the way all the undertakings can really be implemented.

Also, when I mentioned recycling, I meant exactly what you are saying. That recycling does almost nothing to prevent the climate change.

If it was up to redditors. Only governments and their coordinated action can make impact. My wife picks up garbage on the road sides, we recycle and drive 1-2 times a week. So what? Unless producers change how they manufacture goods, ranchers feed cows those seaweed supplements, carbon capture facilities are built, energy production is green — there will be no impact.

Do you seriously think that a small fraction of the population who posts on reddit can make that change?

Climate change is like a war. Individuals can’t win it. You need governments (plural) to regulate the industry and rebuild the economy. No private company, like Tesla or Bill Gates’ initiatives will do the job.

Reddit audience is unfortunately not representative of the US population.
